Well, at least I made a start

One of my hopes in organising my sewing stuff is that I will be able to locate things quickly so I need a storage method which enables me to see at a glance just what I have.

I have a lot of smallish pieces of fabric, fat quarters or thereabouts so I decided to store them in the nine litre Really Useful Boxes which I use for craft storage. I folded each separate piece of fabric on to cards measuring roughly eight by five inches and here is the result of my first days efforts.

These boxes can be stacked easily so I should be able to keep several boxes in a neat pile. Well, that's the plan.

It is all too true, I am sure that there are fabrics in my stash that I have never set eyes on before. I have toyed with the notion of wrapping fabric round cards, many of the US bloggers do that. I am not altogether sure that I would be strong enough to rewind every time I cut strips off my yardage.

We had some visitors today - 12 year old autistic twins who we love but they do tend to say it how it is:"Your house is messy!" flowed off the tongue of one of them as they walked in the door - time for me to get to grips with it all over again, I think!
